yeah, this is why i gave up on aftermarket cooling on gpu's, way too many things to consider for. rather spend the money on a non reference card with good cooler pre-installed

i don't think the S1 fits

umm, aftermarket cooling for 5750 is very limited, AC TTPro will not fit.
vapor-x is ok i think but I do know the HIS iCooler one is pretty good, its essential using an arctic cooling L2 pro, techpowerup measured the sound levels and appears to be pretty quiet

would it be possible to get the coolermaster 212+?

try experiment with your equalizer as most vuvuzela should emit sound at a specific band of frquency,

looks like 233, 466, 932 and 1864 Hz.

I'm no expert but from what I do know: 1. while DDR3 provides negligible real life difference, it doe draw less power and afaik they cost about the same as DDR2 (at least in NZ..). DDR2 is dying anyway so might as well use something that will still be available in the next few years or so. 2. MSI mo...

while not as good as say the noctua D12, the result aren't bad

quiet a weird topic but it is very relevant to everyday life I remember when I lived in taiwan before 12, we lived in relatively new apartment, the toilets there are really quiet when flushing, but none the less effective at its job. Ever since i came to new zealand, all toilets i've seen are the ty...

Maybe a few fans for your CPU cooler and case? I'd recommend Nexus, Scythe if money weren't a concern. Otherwise, Yateloon is a safe choice for those on a tight budget. That said, I'm testing Enermax MAGMA DC/PWM variety of fans, and they performs wonderfully in my system in terms of acoustic. Also...

interesting, at TPU: http://www.techpowerup.com/124110/Gigab ... _Card.html
they said the 5750 silent won't need an external power connector, but on IMOM's rig there clearly is one

HDD: personally I find the WD Caviar Blue / Caviar SE is really nice balance between price, performance and noise levels GFX: not sure about the specs of FSX but there are passively cooled 5750's on the market, they can play most games at 1920x1080 in medium settings, go up a notch you can also get ...

I believe scythe kama pwm would be a good choice, also heard kind words about AC F12 PWM

i knew the stock coolers are loud but the noise levels of the 980X stock cooler is simply

I'm not sure whats going on right here but the HAWK is actually quite affordable now, normal 5770 is about NZ$260~270, the HAWK can be had for $299, I'm quite tempted by at tbh, but I think I'll just wait for a passive card (best passive card right here atm is the 9800GT silent cell, costs more than...

the first one looks really freaky...

hey Erelyes I'm in NZ as well :) I have emailed all the powercolor, and gigabyte distributors because Im looking for the fanless 5750's as well, non of them have any plans to import any of them :( from reviews from other sites like TPU, it looks like the HIS 5750 iCooler IV and MSI 5770 HAWK are the...

hmm could this be able to beat the mugen II? can't wait for tests and results I'm worried about its stock fan choice -- after all, a fan rotating at 1900RPM stands no chance of being quiet. At least, they ditch push-pins mounting in old Ninjas in favor of more secure backplate. I guess this will dep...

indeed, my ASUS Q-Fan setting appears only to switch between max and min speed, and ramps up way too often. The bit about controlling airflow for passive card is really helpful :D looks like those slot cover with vents that came with AC coolers will be of use after all. and I still can't figure the ...

cheers for that, we actually have $10 YL over here as well, but their hit-and-miss nature is putting me off a bit...

BlackWhizz wrote:That isnt hard. Get a old broken fan and rip off the connector. Then solder up the connector onto the twinturbo (reds to reds yellow to yellow [if you have a yellow] and black to black).

thats true, but I'm hoping I can leave it as it is for another card in the future tho...

I thought seasonic x-series are fully modular?

Recently I acquired a megahalem pretty cheaply so I am planning to get some fans for it. I am also planning to get a passive 5750 when they make their way to NZ. What I have in mind is to have fans that are quieter than my VX450 at low loads. My case is the Antec Solo, still have the tricool and hav...

due to the stupid galaxy PCB design, I can't plug in my accelero twin turbo fan into my 9600GT (both 3 pin, but the galaxy card uses a mobo header) anyways, at first 12v was totally unacceptable, so I modded the adapter to 7v, much better but still a too much noise for my liking. The temps at 7v is ...

assuming the gpu sits far away enough from the I/O, you might have to do something with a spacers

1 thing I noticed was that core 2 is always around 7°C 'hotter' than the other 3 cores when idle, but when stressed it was 1°C 'cooler'. yeah typical intel sensor issue (not sure if AMD has it too or not) most of their cpu thermometers are stuck under a certain temperature, for example, on my e84...

is it just me or has the TRUE120 completely lost its value here?

excellent, thank you

argh, how did I manage to miss that.... but now i know they fit

thanks so much

searched through the gallery and haven't found anyone putting megahalem in the antec solo. I've been offered a rather cheap price on a 2nd hand megahalem but i'm not sure if it can fit in my antec solo case. Does anyone know if it is possible without modding or anything? i measured the distance from...
